Not only did I do that with my 14 5.3. I can do that with my 02 Avalanche. Most any no weight over the rear tires pickup should be able to do that if so desired, with a little brake TQ. Nice show though.

Thanks. No brake tq here! Just letting off the brake till it it 5 mph and nailing it. You can brake tq a 4 banger and make it spin. All I know is my 2020 Trail Boss with the 5.3 would only chirp the tires from a dead stop. If I was rolling like I was in the video...it would have never spun or even chirped them.

If you can take your 5.3 from a roll, nail it and break the tires loose through 1st and 2nd... I want to see it! Post up a video.

My old 02 will roll through first easily. Being it’s a 4 speed auto not a 10 speed obviously not through second. But the same distance.  My 14 a six speed with E-85 and little TM would through second with a tune.

Going back to an older truck the throttle response was quite different than the newer trucks. Taking off without turning the tires was a re-learning experience. Especially with 373 gears.

Oh I know all about that! I still have my '06 silverado 5.3, 4.10 gears, cold air, MBRP exhaust with cats deleted and a Diablo tune with as tq management turned off, that I bought brand new in July of 2006. She goes for what she is....but it still won't light them up from a roll.

Every truck I owned since the 2000s could light them. Of course there’re tuned, exhaust, stock sized tires empty in the bed. Stock trucks without a tune the TC would intervene and shut them down with more than a chirp.

The 6.2 will break ‘em loose at 50+ MPH in the wet. Definitely took me off guard the first time that happened.

Yeah, if you have traction control and advanced traction off your going for a ride!

I’ll second that my 2020 trailboss 6.2 breaks traction easily also off the line 1st gear is useless in 2wd breaks loose way to easy in 1st. When roads are wet yea truck gets sketchy
